Which processor is better, AMD Phenom x3 8550 vs Intel Core Q6600?
Phenom is 2.2GHz, and Triple core
Q6600 is 2.4GHz and Quad core
I currently have the Phenom, but I found someone selling the Intel core and other parts for pretty cheap. Just wondering if it is an upgrade or not. He is selling a motherboard and RAM that works with the intel CPU.
I will be using it for gaming, mostly Starcraft 2. My Phenom just isn't cutting it for that game. It bottlenecks my Radeon HD 6570 so I can't get higher than medium graphics.
